Integrative Ayurveda Support for Cancer Care

At Apollo AyurVAID Delhi, the Integrative Cancer Care (ICC) program follows a protocol-guided Precision Ayurveda approach. Every intervention is selected after carefully considering the cancer stage, treatment phase, and the patient’s overall clinical condition.

  • Comprehensive Evaluation & Personalised Planning

Each patient undergoes a detailed medical and Ayurveda assessment. This includes evaluation of cancer type and stage, current oncology treatment, associated medical conditions, digestive strength, immune status, and functional capacity. Based on this, an individualised ICC care plan is prepared in coordination with the oncology team.

  • Phase 1: Side-Effect Management & Immune Support

This phase focuses on:
• Reducing chemotherapy and radiation-related side effects
• Managing inflammation, pain, fatigue, nausea, neuropathy, and mucositis
• Supporting immune resilience and lowering infection risk
• Correcting digestion and metabolic imbalances

  • Phase 2: Tissue Strengthening & Functional Recovery

Once acute symptoms are better controlled, care gradually shifts towards recovery. This includes:
• Strengthening body tissues (Dhātus) and restoring strength
• Improving appetite, sleep quality, and physical stamina
• Supporting organ function affected by cancer treatment
• Addressing weight loss, muscle wasting, and metabolic imbalance

  • Phase 3: Rehabilitation, Survivorship & Long-Term Care

Post-treatment care focuses on sustained recovery and quality of life. This includes:
• Functional rehabilitation supported by Rasayana therapies
• Lifestyle, dietary, and psychological guidance
• Management of long-term effects such as lymphedema, bone weakness, hormonal imbalance, and persistent fatigue
• Supporting relapse risk reduction and long-term well-being

  • Integrated Treatment Components

Within this framework, treatment may include:
• Amapachana and Agnideepana therapies to support metabolism and reduce inflammatory load
• Srotas Shodhana to support circulation and tissue oxygenation
• Rasayana therapies for immune support and tissue repair
• Personalised dietary planning with gut-focused interventions
• Supportive therapies for pain, sleep regulation, stress management, and emotional health

All treatment protocols are measurable, carefully coordinated with oncology care, and designed to support safe long-term recovery.
